Who's gonna drive you home... tonight...

"Drive" sung by Escorpions in a live acoustic session...
It was written by Ric Ocasek, founder of new wave 80s band The Cars, in 1984. In the same year, a videoclip was recorded and released in august, which was starred by Paulina Porizkova, 5 years later married with Ocasek. Sixteen years later after the release, in the same week, the singer of The Cars, Benjamin Orr, who sung it originally, died in 2000 of pancreatic cancer.
In 1985, the whole world lived the Live Aid concert (just 2 weeks after my birth) and Drive got worlwide famous because of its use as the background soundtrack to a montage of clips showing poverty-stricken Africa.
I hope you delight one more time your ears with this fine and delicate balad.
Enjoy.



Who's gonna tell you when, it's too late
Who's gonna tell you things, aren't so great

You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up, when you fall
Who's gonna hang it up, when you call
Who's gonna pay attention, to your dreams
Who's gonna plug your ears, when you scream

You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna hold you down, when you escape
Who's gonna come around, when you break

You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna drive you home tonight
